We are having a bit of a melt out, plus something like an inch of rain on top of frozen ground. In a word. Goose Poo.
Rode a bit at TheGraydog's pits.
The Duck Pond:

And the big pit:
I tried to cut across the edge of the pit, and the entire face sluffed off. Water was probably about 18" deep, with 5" of mud below that, we didn't even try. Graydog had to drag me and my bike out, after the requisite picture. Powerful little bugger.
We worked this log quite awhile. The big logs were mostly too terrifying. :eek1

Yep, this was your kind of glop. To get any lift for the little log, we had to start the wheelie from ten feet back where there was any traction. Holding pressure was an artifact of riding in on the back wheel. I actually cleaned the whole move up the bank a couple times, after figuring out that little moves don't work in six inches of mud.

New boots are still in the box, although I wore them around the house one afternoon, feeling like OJ in my Italian footwear...

Good practice for holding pressure.

Followed by half an hour of washing bikes and people.

I'll have to make it up there this summer when it is too hot in the valley.

Do you mean loading the engine against the brake and releasing it for a real pop? I was able to get some lift, mostly through really cranking into the rear wheel with an exaggerated deep knee bend.

Yes, more or less. Just like balancing on flat ground and using the brake to pull the front end up from a stop. Now get in that mud in third or fourth gear and give one of those logs a go! (Make sure the camera is ready!) No really if you are good with the clutch it should just pull you over no problem!
